| Description |
The purpose of this study was to establish the relationship between supply chain strategies and performance of large-scale manufacturing firms in Kenya by addressing three primary gaps in the literature. The research gaps include the research findings and results on the relationship between supply chain strategies and firm performance that have been contradicting and no attempt to clear the contradictions; biased and unbalanced analysis of the different measures of firm performance, and failure to use weighted scores to measure firm performance. Resource-Based View guided this study. A sample of one hundred and thirty-eight (138) firms was drawn using proportionate sampling from a population of six hundred and twenty-seven (627) large-scale manufacturing firms in Kenya. The response rate was seventy-five (75) percent. The correlation analysis and regression analysis models were used to test the hypotheses. The study findings indicate that Supply chain strategies are useful predictors of the firm’s performance as supply chain strategies explain 76.7 % of the changes in the firm’s performance.DOI:10.12660/joscmv8n2p1-22 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.12660/joscmv8n2p1-22
